I bought 3 when they first come out, one for me, my wife and my oldest son. They are very accurate once you out about 5-600 rounds thru them for break in. They are one of my favorite woods carry guns. The only complaint I have is that the adjustment screw on the rear sight turns a little too easy, other than that they are great little guns.
My son who is a much better shot than me can keep 25 yard groups under 2" free hand and just over an inch off a sand bag..

Gene, that is why I bought mine was for a carry gun while hunting.  I have to say once again....  Just a fantastic little revolver.

Have you tried the Winchester Dynapoints in yours?  VERY accurate!  But hard ammo to find.

I found speedloaders for it.  while not cheep, they work fantastic.  so i carry 2  with me when I hunt.

Thanks for the link..I might have to get a couple when the funds get a little better. But I usally just carry a handfull in my pocket, more often than not I end up shooting at least 100-200 rounds or even more when woods walking. Pine cones are never safe, nor snakes, or other targets of opportunity. Havent tried the dynopoints, I got a great deal some time ago on federal eagle, packaged in a brick of 400 rounds and 40 rounds per pack. I think I bought around 12000 rounds for $400 or so. I still have about 6k rounds left. Thats what I plink with but when doing any type of hunting I use the mini-mags. I also shoot a S&W 617 with a 4"bbl, S&W 63 with a 5" bbl. I love rimfire revolvers.

My only other rimfire revolvers are the Ruger Single 6 with a 9" barrel and a Taurus revolver- rifle in 22LR / Mag.  both guns I love to hunt with

BTW:  check out this place.  they make speeloaders and they are even sturdier and cheaper    http://www.5starfirearms.com/speed_loaders_22.html

I bought one of these a few months ago.  It is built well enough that I'm sure it will outlast me.  My ccw is a sp101 in 327 so I got this to practice my DA trigger pull.  The trigger in the 22 is a lot heavier in order to allow positive ignition of the rimfire cartridges.   It is manageable though and I expect it to smooth out a little in the future.  I haven't decided if I like the front sight or not.  It seemed a little too bright on a sunny day so I colored in the top of it with a black sharpie. 

I am going to see if I can get a sourdough pancake holster for it.  It will fit in the sourdough pancake holster for the 3 inch gun, but the barrel sticks out a half inch.

I really haven't been able to shoot it as much as I want.  Once I get a thousand or two rounds through it I should have it all figured out.
